down on the midway the sideshow barker say step right up y'all i got a game you can't lose
there's a sucker bone every minute long as the wheel keep on spinning
and one day the hand of fate gonna land right on you
cause life is like a carnival ride and you're watching the ground disappear
and you're saying won't you stop this train and let me off right here
and when everything's
upside down you won't do you no good to despair
just remember we're all going round together at the life ain't fair
like the red ball in a game of cups it moves every time you lift one up
looking for love you chose the wrong one again
they'll fool you once fool you twice you rolled a fool's paradise
and what you thought was gold is just an old piece of tin
cause life is like a carnival ride and you're watching the ground disappear
and you're saying won't you stop this train and let me off right here
when everything is upside down
it won't do you no good to despair
just remember we're all going round together at the life ain't fair
just like a funhouse mirror
and a blur goes one more year
and time is one thing your money can't buy
so take your place in the freak show
let go of things beyond your control
and enjoy the view from that big wheel in the sky
cause life is like a carnival ride
and you're watching the ground disappear
and you're saying won't you stop this train and let me off right here
and when everything is upside down
it won't do you no good to despair
just remember we're all going round together at the life ain't fair
yeah we've all got our tickets to the life ain't fair
cause there's something for everyone

at the life ain't fair
